“We are thrilled to welcome Nissen to our family of high-quality, right-for-the-job marking solutions, and to provide another high-performance product line to industrial trade professionals around the world,” said John Hardin, CEO of LA-CO Industries.

“It’s exciting when competitors become partners,” said Benjamin Kleiman, Director of Marketing at LA-CO Industries. “Broader market coverage, more innovation and an even higher level of customer satisfaction in marking solutions is our combined future.”
